We are all invited to a Celebration of Life – the July 4th weekend birthday bash for Manolo “Nolie” Mapa, our dear classmate and the better half of another dear classmate, Helouise Culanculan-Mapa.  Manolo, the epitome of a fun-filled life, has managed to enjoy life to the fullest even after surviving several major health setbacks and therefore it is only very fitting that we all join Manolo and Helouise and their immediate families for this celebration of Manolo’s 65th birthday. (Click here to see the INVITATION. )

 

Plans in the works include various activities for everyone - a golf outing, mahjong galore, Tennis, Casino session and possibly, a UST Medicine’67 Dinner and General Meeting if we can get over 25 of us to attend - enough for a quorum.

 

(This invitation was extended to all of us courtesy of Alicia Baksh, the sister of Nolie in an email addressed to Cora Gemil.)

Schedule:

1. Dinner and Roasting of Nolie at 250 Joyce Road, Chester, WVA on July 4th (Friday) at 6:30 PM on Friday, July 4, 2008.  Chester, WVA is 35 miles of Pittsburgh International Airport (a 45 minute leisurely drive).


2. Golf Outing on Saturday, July 5, 2008 at 1:00 PM - Beaver Creek Meadows. For the non-golfers, there will be Mahjong, Tennis or Casino.

 

3. Dinner and General Meeting of the officers and members of UST Medicine’67 Foundation, U.S.A., Inc. on Saturday, July 5, 2008.
